Correct. Were we discussing the original dish or the
more common modern version? I came in on the topic
when we were talking about toast with an egg in the
center of it. If I missed the historical reference to
the topic, I appologize.
I have two early versions of Toad in the Hole. One
does use a batter very similar to Yorkshire pudding
(pan drippings being the most prevailant liquid),
while the other uses a milk based batter with nutmeg
and onion stirred in. As an aside, the Yorkshire
style recipe calls for a mixture of organ meats to be
added to the shredded meat, including heart, liver and
sweetbreads, I believe. The other recipe makes no
mention of organ meats or offal.
